Louise Fenton - Counsellor (MBACP)

About me

Hi, my name is Louise and I am a fully qualified, experienced Counsellor. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and I work within the BACP code of ethics at all times. I am fully insured and hold an enhanced criminal bureau check.

I work in my private practice; Grey Matters Centre in Ashby, Scunthorpe, offering one-to-one counselling.I offer a individual therapy service using an integrative approach. This means I provide counselling from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic models giving the most appropriate therapeutic package for each client.

I am very passionate about my job as a Counsellor and using patience, kindness and care create a confidential and safe environment to help you to explore thoughts, feelings, behaviours and issues that may be interfering with your life. Helping you to understand more about yourself and together, as a team we can find new ways and tools which will help you to make the changes you want.

WHAT TO EXPECT

I understand that to seek counselling can seem very daunting and sometimes it takes courage and strength to take the first step. If you have decided to contact me we can arrange to meet for a full and thorough assessment. This session lasts one hour so it gives us time for you to talk about your difficulties. I will explain how I work and how our sessions will be confidential. I will ask you questions and explore what has brought you along to counselling, what is happening for you and some of your history. It will be important for me to know what your aims and goals are so that we know what we are trying to achieve. Hopefully this lets you get to know me a little and help you decide if you would like us to continue to work together. If this is what you decide to do then we can arrange further appointments for you. Usually this is once a week but we can discuss this if this is not suitable. The duration of the sessions are usually goal orientated and I am happy to be guided by your preference.

WHAT IS COUNSELLING

Counselling is a safe and confidential environment which gives you the space and freedom to explore your own thoughts. It helps you to understand yourself better and the way you think which will ultimately help you develop a clearer understanding of your problems. The more armed with information you are the more tools you have, the easier it becomes to work through difficulties you are facing so that you can come out of the other side feeling more positive. Counselling can also help you understand other people's points of view and the way you react to them.

CONFIDENTIALITY

I provide a confidential counselling service, the contents of the sessions are confidential between the two of us.

ISSUES I CAN HELP WITH

I have had personal experiences with Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety and Panic Attacks so I have done extensive studies on these areas and I am very passionate about this work.

I work with a variety of Anger Issues, O.C.D, Phobias and Relationship Issues.

LOCATION

I understand that coming for counselling can be daunting especially when you are feeling vulnerable or low so I would like to take this opportunity to explain a few things and hopefully ease some anxieties some people may have. Grey Matters is located in Ashby near Scunthorpe, in a very easily reached location. It is situated on local bus routes and there is a bus stop across the road. There is also ample parking for cars around the building. There is a waiting room for your convenience, which you are welcome to come in and take a seat. When it is your appointment time I will greet you and welcome you into the counselling room. There is a choice of seats and you will be offered a glass of water.The room is safe, cozy and warm which I feel, assists the therapeutic process.
